| Popis: | Global aphasia is an acquired language disorder that seriously affects comprehension, language expression, reading and writing, showing a right hemiplegia. Because of this inability to process language and these motor difficulties, global aphasia is the worst prognosis aphasia. Sometimes patient’s rehabilitation abilities to take advantage of rehabilitation and to restore a functional communicative interaction with the environment are underestimated. Here we report a case in which a patient with global aphasia comes in the healthcare service of the Pontificia University of Salamanca after an unsuccessful period of traditional rehabilitation and recovers some communication skills through training in communication through signs. |
